DENISON UNIVERSITY THEATRE

78^th Subscription Season

Picasso at the Lapin Agile

October 3-4 & 7-11

by Steve Martin

Actor and screenwriter Steve Martin mixes the sublime with the ridiculous in this fanciful comedy. Set in a Parisian bar in 1904, Picasso and Einstein appear, just before they set the world afire in the realms of art and physics.

Something’s Afoot

November 13-15 & 17-20

Book, Music, and Lyrics by James McDonald, Robert Gerlach, David Vos

Additional Music and Musical Consultant: Ed Linderman

In this wild musical spoof of Agatha Christie’s Ten Little Indians, Lord Dudley Rancour has invited some guests to his English country house for a marvelous weekend. But when the butler announces that Rancour is dead, it’s obvious that something is definitely afoot. So whodunit?

CATO, at the Bakehouse near Headquarters

February 27-28 & March 3-7

by Mark Evans Bryan

Joseph Addison’s heroic tragedy, Cato (1713) is an English drama that proved popular in eighteenth-century North America—by many accounts, it was George Washington’s favorite play. In 1778, the drama was produced by officers of the Continental Army at the Valley Forge encampment. Bryan’s adaptation combines Addison’s drama of the last days of the anti-Caesar republican, Cato the Younger, with primary materials from the journals and correspondence of the men and women of the Pennsylvania countryside in the spring of 1778.
